Rachel Corrie, an American citizen, was murdered, repeatedly run over by a bulldozer as she stood in defense of Palestinians.
Her family was threatened and anyone who spoke about her was smeared as an antisemite including Alan Rickman who wrote and directed a play about her.
To this day she is remembered and honoured as a martyr in Palestine.
While, at the time, her death was mocked in Israel by putting her face on pancakes.
History repeating itself over and over.
I wish people had the energy they have for deconstructing and hating Harry Potter could also be directed at Five Nights at Freddy's, considering the creator of FNaF is every bit as much of a transphobic bigot as JKR. And he's even younger and can use his money for even worse shit for longer.
It's kinda past "oh, FNaF is just an Internet meme franchise, it's just a couple games that are only popular because Markeplier did a yell at one, pwease it's a wittwe multi-biwwion dowwa feanchiwe uwu." It's everywhere, it's as pervasive as HP now. There's a movie now. There's merchandise everywhere you go.
Both of them are fucking everywhere and completely inescapable this time of year, but only one has at least a little blowback.
I do wonder if some of it is that FNaF is more popular with zoomers and HP is more associated with millennials (and as tiktok won't shut up about for the past 3 years, everything millennial is cringe and everything zoomer is based).
This is why I am not seeing the Five Nights At Freddy's movie.
"you can't pick and choose what you like from canon" common misconception! yes you can
but please do not get this very true concept confused with “you cannot pick and choose what is canon”
they are two very different things.
my favorite thing about this post is all the people who chose to use the default icon defending themselves in the notes like no stop it just put a picture up
Loving this energy
*wipes tear* they learn tumblr culture so fast . . . the spite . . . the malicious compliance of it all . . . I'm so proud
This is for people of Israel/anyone who supports Israel/anyone who wants to stay "neutral" about this genocide, remember that this is how your fav "defenders/heroes/government servants are supposed to be responsible" are talking about innocent Palestinians civilians:
If you choose not to speak on this matter, if you choose to not speak up for Palestinians, then be well assured, 100% guaranteed that what's happening in Palestine can (and will if you let Israel get away with MASS MURDER) also just as easily happen to you, and then there will be other people who would stay "neutral" and silent on this matter.
If you think that the reason you're not taking sides is because you don't really know the situation that well, then EDUCATE yourself. It is your responsibility, as a fucking human, to do your research to stop and prevent such atrocities from being committed.
(I know, I FUCKING KNOW I have at least a few dozen followers from Israel/support Israel/ZIONISTS who are reading this and I know that your eyes may be blind, but your hearts aren't. Don't be a hypocrite, and don't be ignorant)
Pick up a book read a Wikipedia article watch a documentary anything please please please
You either die a hero living in their van or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain trying to get the deed to a haunted amusement park
HOLY FLERKING SHNIT O.O
I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING
Some backstory: This is Lena Luthor. Not Lex's sister from the comics or Supergirl tv show, but rather Lex's daughter
Lex, in another example of being parent of the year, traded her away to Brainiac 13 in order to make himself even wealthier through complete knowledge of the advanced technology Brainiac had fused Metropolis with
Lena for a time served Brainiac 13, returning to earth older either through time travel shenanigans or advanced aging. She, Lex and Brainiac schemed during the Imperix War until Brainiac inevitably betrayed Lex and was defeated by Superman. Lena returned to earth, but pretty much all but vanished from the Superman books after Our Worlds At War and it wasn't clear if she was still in continuity or not after the many reboots and retcons
TURNS OUT SHE IS
And given that last panel and the fact Brainiac is the main villain of the upcoming Superman story arc it seems like she's still got some form of connection to him and his plans here O.O
She gets her colour scheme from both of her fathers.
"Through the power of Brainiac I have one thing you will never have"
"Impossible"
"H A I R"
"NO"
Also oh my gosh her hair dye/make up combo being a reference to Brainiac and also Lex's warsuit holy shit
TBH, not sure about bringing back the whole Brainiac thing, instead of just re-introducing the character?
I know, everything (and nothing) is canon now, but this seems like the kind of “bringing back old continuity for the sake of it” thing running rampant since Didio (fuck him, but he was the Adult in the Room in this) stopped nixing it. Like, they’re revamping Lex backstory in this anyway, saying how he actually was a superhero for a while who has secret history with this group of mad scientists, and also his mom has been alive and evil this whole time. It’s fair game to be like “oh, and he’s also had a kid this whole time” and pretty accessible, but then you also gotta add “oh, and she was also Brainiac for a while, because of this crappy crossover event no one has read, but then got better in a crapyp mini no one has hear of ect.”.
Maybe I’m overthinking it-I know it’s an anniversarry and Doctor Who does continuity porn like this all the time-but I kinda wish writers realized they can bring up old chracters and concepts, without expecting normal people have actually read every little thing .
Doctor Who is celebrating 60 years by releasing over 800 episodes on BBC iPlayer.
The sci-fi fantasy show first premiered in 1963 and has cemented itself as a permanent fixture in pop culture history. This fall, fans will be able to stream the entire 800-plus episode series along with spin-offs like Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, and Class, and the behind-the-scenes series Doctor Who Confidential.
